Rebel

The Incom T-65 X-wing fighter is the Alliance's primary space superiority platform. Originally planned for the Imperial starfleet as a replacement for the venerable Z-95 Headhunter, this fighter was delivered to the Rebellion near the start of the Galactic Civil War when the entire design team defected, bringing the prototype fighters along with them.

The first dedicated space superiority craft developed for the New Republic military, FreiTek's E-wing is a balanced and powerful fighter. Introduced several years after the Battle of Endor, the E-wing experienced more than its share of teething problems, as the initial design was built around the R7 astromech droid, an advanced custom-built unit which brought a host of its own glitches along with it. As a result, many squadrons were hesitant to adopt, and the E-wing never completely replaced Incom's often-upgraded T-65 X-wing in the New Republic fleet.

By the time of the Clone Wars, the Mon Cal had built up a reputation as excellent explorers, famed for pushing deep into the unknown regions and wild space on multi-year journeys. The keys to their success were their unique ships, individually tailored to a specific mission profile and crew through a constantly evolving design process. After the establishment of the Empire, the Mon Cal were tolerated due to the Emperor's insatiable hunger for new territory, but their place in the overtly racist new order was abundantly clear.
